Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Was successful on my first claim with Natwest (a joint account), they paid up just after the MCOL claim which was a bit of a shock, now going for my sole account and my husbands sole account.
Have a feeling it may not be so easy this time round, dont know why. Maybe its because Ive not had any responses at all to any letters, and last time I had two offers by this point. Maybe they dont think its worth doing that now as they know I will see it through?
Anyone had experience of two claims and whether it is more difficult second time round?
Today I should be doing the MCOL for both these but feeling very apprehensive and dont know why...

Don't forget to donate to this site, they gave us the backbone to put up a fight, we've learnt how to reclaim our rights and proved banks are all nothing but........ rubbish <wink>
Yet again Ive dropped a big clanger! On my sole account Ive just noticed the two letters Ive sent, the prelim and the lba, although the letter is correct, the schedule Ive attached has the wrong account number on!! It has my husbands on as I just overwrote his details with mine, obviously forgetting to change the account number. I should be filing the MCOL today, but am I now best going back to the beginning and starting it again, or do you think just one more letter along the same lines as the LBA, attaching the corrected schedule will suffice? Anyone?

Go back to the start Fuzz. I don't see it as being a huge problem as you haven't actually issued proceedings yet but if you get it right from the outset then it gves them nothing to go at later.
